Welcome / open talk

This week we are recognizing Motorcycle Mama!

Motorcycle Mama is a long standing POI Factory member and former multiple COY award winner. We appreciate her continued knowledgeable presence in the forums.

I also now know who to contact for questions regarding motor vehicle codes for the state of Virginia.

Thanks for all you do!

The latest Samsung unit offers GPS routing using Maps App and Google provides a beta version with voice guidance and street level views. Wow!!!!

I have not followed a route yet but it was surprising to see it on the Tablet.

Miss POI here just wanting to check in and wish you all a Happy healthy New Year.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season.

I am doing great, still loving my new career and life.

What is new with all of you guys?

Idaho inmates suing liquor companies. Their contention is that liquor caused them to commit the crime.
Any lawyer(s) that take that case should be disbarred in my opinion.

The 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show is only a few days away. What do you hope to hear about in the way of GPS devices? For that matter, has there been much in the past announced from Garmin or others? Personally, I would like to hear about a Garmin Android StreetPilot OnBoard app officially announced.

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share with us the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you use it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.) Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Thought it would be fun to start this topic.

What did you get this year that's definitely going back to the store?

This week we are recognizing Speed2!

He’s been super speedy in his posting over the past week which is important to keep dialogs going in the forums.

Plus his avatar is ferocious.

Here's the scenario: Rudolph woke up this morning feeling a little queezy, so he informed Santa that his reindeer guidance system might be just a tad off. Now everyone knows that Rudolph & his cohorts always come through, but just in case Santa figures maybe he should mount one of those newfangled GPS systems to his handle bars. What might Santa's 'go to' system be?

Best Wishes all!

As posted above, could the replacement for stand alone automobile GPS as we know it currently simply be a small tablet with a GPS receiver built in? Some might also have wifi and/or cellular connectivity. Anyway, the end user buys the device and windshield mount and then selects if they want Garmin, TomTom, or Magellan navigation software.

I think this is a pretty good price.
